This delectable bean juice was first discovered by the Arabs and through trade during the 15th century became a huge fad in Europe. Since then, people have come up with many, many creative ways to drink this delicacy. You can freeze it solid, you can turn it into a shake, or put it over ice or drink it hot. And not to mention all of the different flavors you can add in. the coffee served at Starbucks is scarcely the same that the 15th century English gentlemen were sipping, pinkies up.
Coffee is also one of the most addictive drinks on the planet, well, the most addictive non-alcoholic drinks!
This is the reason there is lots of tension in my home with my mother and I.
I confess, I have an addiction. If I don't get my coffee by 11am I get massive headaches and start falling asleep during school. So, I need it to operate as a normal human being. It is my drug.
My dear mother, however, thinks that I need to rid myself of this habit. So, this morning when i brewed my last cup, and asked to go to Wal-Mart, she simply replied by asking, "Why should I spend money on your addiction". And I didn't have an answer. So! I went online and found the following Yahoo article:
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/5-health-reasons-to-not-quit-coffee-2460820/
This basically says that there are 5 reason why you SHOULDN'T quit the habit!
1)It protects your heart
2)It prevents Type 2 diabetes
3)It's very good for your liver
4)It boosts brain power
5)Gets rid of headaches
I think it was a good argument....Mom hasn't told me we are going to Wal-Mart yet... >.>
